Abstract (en)

A bulk feeder 100 comprising storage section 156 for storing multiple electronic components in a loose state and a supply passage 142 and 166 for guiding the electronic components stored in that storage section to an electronic component supply position while arranged in a single line; wherein the supply path, as well as arranging electronic components stored in the storage section in a single line by relying on magnetic force of permanent magnets 140, has a magnetic force dependent supply passage 144 for indexing from the storage section, and air pressure dependent supply passage 146 and 166 for indexing electronic components indexed from the magnetic force dependent supply passage to the supply position by relying on positive pressure or negative pressure air blown from air passages 160, 168 and 170. By this, by combining the appropriate advantages of magnetic force and air pressure respectively, it is possible to perform supply of electronic components ideally and the practicality of the bulk feeder is improved.
